Commensality and Cultural Heritage in the Middle East and Its Diasporas
This Winter School resolves around the theme of “commensality,” which means being at the same table and eating together, with literal and metaphorical implications for respecting differences among those who share a meal. As a field of growing research in the arena of public health, scholars now connect commensality and sociability to individual and communal well-being. In this Winter School, we propose to explore the theme of commensality through an interdisciplinary lens.
